It doesn't equate to an I-win button, it's a tool that has nothing wrong with it.

All CUD abilities are I-win buttons, including the OS.

And no, flails don't require any such thing, it takes a minute to get it deployed and setup a waypoint and a few test shots to get it lined up, and once you get going, you can tape the mouse button down and go make a sandwich (something I did once, came back to 20 kills from vpad camping). It's an I win button.

You can also drive a tank up to an enemy vpad and camp it, tape mouse button down.

CUD = I-win button
Tanks = Not an I-win button

I myself have 5 CR5's, 4 of which are NC. So in the event that I really, really, don't like a particular AA max sitting on a ridge, I can just OS him over and over and over.

Apparently that was the "endgame" of PS1, grind more CR5's. It's why I didn't participate in the "endgame" and unsubbed after about 6 months, wasn't interested.

Use your hearing, and surge = counter. Very simple. Perhaps you should attempt to use my advice and see for yourself

Cool story brah but dying to an OS isn't the problem, and I never said it was. I'm talking about all CUD abilities including the EMP blast and reveal enemies.

Mostly OS's are used as a tactical strike, to take out an ams for instance.

Sure we can all sit around and push buttons, you know like how the PS2 beta video shows testers spawning planes by using beta commands; hit a button spawn a plane. An enemy 100 feet off can see you hitting your spawn plane button, and they can hit their OS button and destroy that plane. Then you can hit your Spawn Plane button again, and the enemy can hit their OS button again. How exciting, I'm sure it sounds exciting to you. It would be all "tactical" and stuff.
